Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the XMLAWT-02-0000-0000T50E2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Color and CCT: White, Cool 5700K
• Package / Case: 2020 (5050 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Test Current: 700mA nominal operation
• Maximum Current: 3A rating
• Viewing Angle: 125°
• Physical Dimensions: 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint, 3.15mm seated height
• Thermal Resistance: 2.5°C/W

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Forward Voltage (Vf): Minor variations acceptable within typical operating range
• Flux Output: Variations within specified binning ranges
• Lumens/Watt Efficiency: Generational improvements permitted
• CRI: Not specified as mandatory for all substitutes
• Product Status: Active status preferred for new designs

Substitute parts must maintain identical mechanical compatibility (package, footprint, height) and electrical operating point (700mA test current, 3A maximum current) to ensure direct board-level replacement without design modification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

XMLBWT-02-0000-0000T50E2 (Direct Substitute - Recommended)

The XMLBWT-02-0000-0000T50E2 represents the primary direct substitute for the obsolete XMLAWT-02-0000-0000T50E2. This XLamp® XM-L2 variant maintains identical mechanical compatibility (2020 package, 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint, 3.15mm height) and electrical operating parameters (700mA test current, 3A maximum current, 125° viewing angle). The forward voltage reduction from 2.9V to 2.72V results in improved power efficiency (135 lm/W versus 133 lm/W). Both parts are RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The XMLBWT-02-0000-0000T50E2 carries Active product status with established supply availability, making it suitable for new production designs and replacement applications.

XMLDWT-00-0000-0000U30E2 (Similar Substitute - Higher Performance)

The XMLDWT-00-0000-0000U30E2 offers an alternative based on the XLamp® XM-L3 platform with EasyWhite® technology. This part maintains the identical 2020 (5050 Metric) package footprint and 700mA nominal operating current. The primary distinction is increased luminous flux output (330lm at 85°C versus 270lm at 25°C for the original part), providing enhanced brightness performance. The 5700K color temperature specification includes 3-Step MacAdam Ellipse binning for tighter color consistency. This part is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected with Active product status. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when increased light output is required within the same mechanical envelope.

Both substitutes are manufactured by CreeLED, Inc., ensuring consistent quality and reliability standards. Selection between the two substitutes depends on whether maintaining exact flux output (XMLBWT) or achieving higher brightness (XMLDWT) aligns with application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the XMLBWT-02-0000-0000T50E2 be used as a direct replacement for the XMLAWT-02-0000-0000T50E2 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications (2020 package, 5.00mm x 5.00mm footprint, 3.15mm seated height) and electrical operating parameters (700mA test current, 3A maximum current, 125° viewing angle). The forward voltage difference (2.9V to 2.72V) represents an improvement in power efficiency and does not require circuit redesign for standard LED driver applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between the XMLBWT and XMLDWT substitutes?

A: The XMLBWT-02-0000-0000T50E2 (XM-L2 series) maintains flux output comparable to the original part (270lm at 700mA) with improved efficiency. The XMLDWT-00-0000-0000U30E2 (XM-L3 series with EasyWhite®) delivers higher luminous flux (330lm at 700mA), providing approximately 22% increased brightness. Both maintain identical package and footprint compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging format differences between these substitutes?

A: Yes. The original XMLAWT-02-0000-0000T50E2 is supplied in bulk packaging. The XMLBWT-02-0000-0000T50E2 is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The XMLDWT-00-0000-0000U30E2 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats. These packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; they reflect standard industry supply chain practices for active versus obsolete products.

Q: Do all three parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The XMLAWT-02-0000-0000T50E2, XMLBWT-02-0000-0000T50E2, and XMLDWT-00-0000-0000U30E2 are all RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: What is the significance of the 3-Step MacAdam Ellipse specification on the XMLDWT?

A: The 3-Step MacAdam Ellipse binning on the XMLDWT-00-0000-0000U30E2 defines a tighter color consistency specification for the 5700K cool white output. This ensures more uniform color appearance across multiple units compared to standard binning, which is beneficial for applications requiring consistent color matching across multiple LED installations.

Q: Can the XMLDWT-00-0000-0000U30E2 be used in applications designed for the original XMLAWT part?

A: Yes, with consideration for increased brightness. The XMLDWT maintains identical mechanical compatibility and 700mA operating current. The 22% higher luminous flux output (330lm versus 270lm) is compatible with most lighting applications. Applications with strict brightness specifications or thermal constraints should evaluate whether the increased output aligns with design requirements.
